Hanks gives a shout-out to WSU on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert"

 

Tom Hanks appeared on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” on Thursday, April 21, where he gave a shout out to Wright State University.

Hanks was in Dayton last week to celebrate Wright State’s Rise.Shine. campaign reaching its financial goal of $150 million, as well as to attend the dedication and ribbon cutting of the new Tom Hanks Center for Motion Pictures.

“I’ve never had my name on a building before,” Hanks said. “It’s great knowing people are going to go in there and learn the tenants of film making.”

“You’re going to have kids getting up and saying, ‘Ugh, I’ve got a nine a.m. over in Hanks,’” Colbert said.

“That’s what I’m looking for!” Hanks agreed.
